Best LS Engine to buy
I am wanting to buy a beat up motor I can stroke to 427ci, add heads intake and all the performance parts so I was thinking that getting a junked motor with everything attached would be best value versus building a long block them hunting down whats needed.
What would be the best bang for the buck donor car? Camaro, Gto,Trailblazer or Escalade ect?
An aluminum block would be my first choice. I see many have used all types of engines along the way in there swaps.
Which has the most parts that can be used overall in a c3 swap

I think the LS9 out of the ZR1 would be a good choice, but I don't think thts what your looking for. LS1's are usually easier to find and cheaper and still a good engine but I think the LS2 and LS6 are suppose to be better. Anything out of a Camaro, Corvette or GTO would be a good start if your looking for an aluminum block. I wouldn't worry too much about the difference between the different LSx motors. I'm no expert just my 2 cents
